The Nordic Art Face Vase is a glossy white glazed ceramic vessel shaped as a stylized human head with two hands crossed over the eyes, sold as a single decorative piece. The opening sits at the crown to hold dried or faux stems, or the head can stand on its own, settling quietly onto a shelf, console, or mantel and bringing a calm, artful warmth to a pared-back, warm-minimalist room.
Why we chose it
- Glossy white glazed ceramic — a smooth, glazed surface that catches light softly and wipes clean.
- Sculptural face design — a stylized human head with hands crossed over the eyes, so it reads as a small sculpture rather than a plain vessel.
- Sold as a single piece — one considered vase, ready to anchor a shelf or console on its own.
- Compact footprint — a 15 cm (5.9 in) height that fits shelves, sideboards, and tight corners.
- Dried or faux friendly — an opening at the crown sized for dried grasses, faux stems, or a single branch.
- Glossy white glaze — a clean, gallery-white finish that settles into Nordic and Japandi interiors.
Design story
There is a quiet confidence to a single, well-made vase. This one leans on a striking figural form — a stylized face with hands drawn across the eyes — that feels considered and a little surreal, at ease among Nordic and Japandi interiors. Its glossy white glazed surface holds light gently, so the piece earns its place whether it is filled with a few dried stems or simply left to stand on its own.
Materials & details
The vase is made from glazed ceramic, fired and finished with a glossy white glaze that gives the surface a soft sheen and an easy-to-wipe feel. Modelled as a human head with hands crossed over the eyes, it stands roughly 15 cm (5.9 in) tall, with an 8 cm (3.1 in) opening at the crown and an 11 cm (4.3 in) base for steady footing. It arrives as a single vase, and small variations in glaze and tone are natural to ceramic, making each piece its own.
How to style it
Living room
Set the vase on a bookshelf or media console with a stack of art books and a small dish. Add a few dried stems, or leave it empty and let the sculptural face do the work.
Entryway
Place it on a narrow entry console beside a tray and a key dish. Its compact height keeps the surface feeling open while adding a warm, artful welcome.
Bedroom
Rest it on a nightstand or dresser with a single faux branch. The soft glaze and low profile bring a calm, gallery-like note to the corner of the room.
Care & maintenance
Wipe the glazed surface with a soft, damp cloth, then dry it to keep the sheen even. Avoid harsh abrasives, and lift rather than drag the vase to protect the base. For fresh flowers, set a slim waterproof liner or test tube inside, as the vase is intended as a decorative piece.
